McCarthy Keeps Whining That Dems Should Have Bailed Him Out

More pure projection and whining from now former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. McCarthy once again tried blaming Democrats for the dysfunction his chaos caucus has caused by tossing him out, but unlike the push back he got from CNN's Mana Raju, Fox's Maria Bartiromo was more than willing to play along with this nonsense.

Bartiromo asked McCarthy about Iran's recent threat against Israel if the ground offensive in Gaza goes forward, and asked him to "access the situation."

McCarthy defended his decision to work with Democrats and avoid a government shutdown, and then told her we can't have the "Gaetz doctrine" going forward before voicing his support for Jim Jordan and telling her he believes in the end Jordan will get the necessary votes to become speaker, and then once again attempted to place the blame for Republican disarray on Democrats:

BARTIROMO: Congressman, right now, does Jim Jordan have the votes?

MCCARTHY: As we walked away, he did not, but that's why, you know, we have time. We walked away this weekend. I talked to Jim last night. He's talking to every single member, assessing what their challenges are. But we've got to be able to work together.
